Acelepryn® insecticides
DuPont™ Acelepryn® is the only turf product in Group 28, the anthranilic diamides. This is the latest insecticide class recognized by IRAC (Insecticide Resistance Action Committee).
It features a novel mode of action that impacts the insect’s muscles. In addition to the distinct mode of action, Acelepryn® is setting standards in environmental and toxicological areas.
- first and only grub control product that based on acute toxicology testing was not required by the EPA to include a Signal Word on the label
- lowest water solubility (1.0 PPM) of any registered grub control product
- lowest application rate (0.1 lb ai/acre) ever utilized for grub control
- low impact on non-target organisms including birds, honey bees, fish and mammals.
- classified as reduced risk by the US EPA and by the Health Canada, Pest Management Regulatory Agency
- classified as an unscheduled poison by Australian regulatory authorities
Never before has there been a single active ingredient with the ability to provide this comprehensive control of grubs, plus surface-feeding insects, while maintaining a gentle profile for the environment and for applicators.
